Southwinds Church Kids Sing “Tumbleweed”. Check out that awesome dancing and singing! I think we have some future superstars on our hands! ">
We are joined this week with some fabulous kids and teachers from Wyoming and South Carolina who are here to assist us with our Soccer Camps. These kids know that they don’t want to be a tumbleweed, they are going to be planted deep in God’s word.
We are blessed to have three full time summer missionaries to serve with us this summer!
Kinsey Galyon is a Senior at Reinhardt University in Georgia and a member of the Women’s Basketball Team. She is a member of Sevier Heights Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. This is Kinsey’s third year in Calgary with Southwinds Church. Kinsey is majoring in Sports Medicine.
Adam Velez is a Senior at Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs where he is Men’s Discipleship Coordinator. He is also a member of Mountain View Baptist Church of Hickory, NC. This is Adam’s third year serving alongside Southwinds Church. Adam is a gifted musician and soccer player.
Denise Shirley is a Freshman at North Greenville University in South Carolina where she is a member of the Ladies Golf Team. She is a member of Mountain Creek Baptist Church of Greenville, SC. Denise has been a part of the summer team for four years, and this is her first full summer with us.
Please pray for these young adults who are giving up their entire summer to serve Christ. Pray for each of these as they are seeking God’s will for their futures and how they will continue to answer God’s call on their lives.
This summer, we will have the opportunity to minister to over 300 children and youth with our summer camp programs. We were honored last year to give Bibles to dozens of children who had never owned their own Bible, some who did not even own a family Bible in their home.
The Bibles we need are specific:
The Beginner’s Bible: Timeless Children’s Stories (Zonderkidz, $16.95 USD)
Teen Study Bible NIV (Zonderkidz, $22.95 USD)
VBS New Testament with Psalms & Proverbs, Holman Translation (Holman Bible Publishers, $2.49 USD)
We are pleased to have many churches who will be sending mission teams to assist us this summer. We are asking that if you are willing to purchase a few of these Bibles, that you would send these with the summer mission teams, as this is the least expensive way to transport these across the border. We have found that many Christian Book Stores offer excellent sale prices, and sometimes the books are less than half the normal retail price listed.
Please email us at whitesides_tim@yahoo.com or andreawhitesides@yahoo.com if you would like to send us Bibles or if you have further questions. Even if you can only afford to send one Bible, we will be grateful, because the life of one child or adult could be changed forever.
THANK YOU For the Bibles. We have 150 Bibles coming on the way to us from some friends in Georgia. We thank you for answering this much needed prayer request.
